They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

After Concubine Shu left, Concubine De and Concubine Rong couldn't stay any longer, so they also stood up and said goodbye.

After the three ladies left, most of the people in the hall were gone.

The prince was sitting at the lower seat, so he had time to speak.

"Thank you for reminding me of what happened earlier, Mother."

Jiang Wanyue waved her hand: "I didn't do anything. It was Yu'er who reminded you."

The prince smiled.

"If it weren't for the Queen Mother's help, how could Yu'er have left the palace to visit me? If it weren't for Yu'er coming to report the news, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark."

Jiang Wanyue picked up the newly replaced teacup and blew away the hot steam.

"There is not much I can do to help you now. Now that you have started a family, you will have to rely on yourself in the future. After this incident, you will have to reduce your contact with people inside and outside the palace."

"What happened this time?" The prince keenly sensed the meaning behind her words, "Who is plotting against my mother again?"

"Not just me, but you too."

Jiang Wanyue sighed.

"You shouldn't have come today. Once you came, you might have fallen into someone else's trap."

The prince's heart sank.

It's not that he hadn't thought about this possibility, but now that his father had restored his trust in him, if he didn't come, wouldn't his father think he still cared about the previous matter? He was worried that he would cause his father's displeasure again, so he came anyway.

"Then I will take my leave now."

He stood up, bowed, and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

A sharp voice suddenly sounded, piercing the sky.

"Third Prince? Third Prince! Someone come quickly!"

The prince's face changed and he ran out in a hurry.

Jiang Wanyue called the palace maids and walked out quickly.

As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, she saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounding her, and she immediately shouted.

"Everyone, get away!"

The palace servants scattered like frightened birds and beasts, revealing Lee Seong-taek lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

Jiang Wanyue frowned.

Luo Yudian actually attacked her own son?

Did I guess wrong?

"Imperial Physician! Go and get the Imperial Physician!"

Li Chengze's personal eunuch shouted in panic.

Several palace servants subconsciously wanted to run outside, but were stopped by Jiang Wanyue.

"There's no need for so many people to call the imperial physician. You go."

She pointed at the personal eunuch, who was stunned for a moment before reacting and hurriedly running out.

"You guys, carry the Third Prince back to the palace." She looked at Li Chengze's other eunuchs, "Does your Prince have any chronic illness? Do you have any emergency medicine?"

The eunuchs were originally a little flustered and didn't know what to do, but after hearing Jiang Wanyue's words, they immediately became determined. Two of them carried Li Chengze into the inner hall, and the other one replied to Jiang Wanyue.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince does not have any chronic illness. It's just that he has been allergic to hazelnuts since he was a child, and his throat will be blocked if he eats some."

As the eunuch was speaking, he suddenly slapped his head.

"Your Highness just had a snack. I'm afraid there were hazelnuts mixed in that snack."

His face was filled with annoyance.

Jiang Wanyue frowned even more tightly.

allergy……

She turned to look at her worried son.

"Xu'er, where did Ze'er get the snacks?"

Xuer jumped up suddenly: "Is there something wrong with the snacks? Did the third brother eat snacks? I don't know!"

Jiang Wanyue's eyes were gloomy.

"Bring the snacks over here!"

A palace maid immediately rushed in and came out carrying a small plate.

The dish is filled with soybean flour balls.

The snacks she asked people to prepare were all the three children's favorite foods. Li Chengze liked milk cakes and bean flour balls, and there were no snacks like hazelnuts.

Bean flour balls are made by grinding glutinous rice into powder, kneading them into small balls, steaming them, and then coating them with fried soybean flour.

This is a very common snack.

As a prince, even ordinary snacks would be made more exquisitely.

This plate of bean flour dough has milk added to it, which has a strong milky aroma. It is wrapped in three different colors, in addition to the common yellow bean flour, there are also light pink and emerald green. There are six in a plate, only one yellow one is missing.

Jiang Wanyue picked up the remaining yellow bean powder ball, sniffed it, and took a bite.

She just tasted it but didn't swallow it.

“There’s no problem with this one.”

Although she has not studied medicine in recent years, she has not forgotten the medical knowledge she learned from Aunt Sun.

She could still tell whether it was soy flour or hazelnut flour.

Jiang Wanyue looked at the dessert plate carefully and asked the maid to change the direction. Then she found that there was a little yellow stain on a pink dumpling.

The color looks slightly darker.

Jiang Wanyue leaned closer and smelled it.

"There is no obvious aroma of soybean powder. I'm afraid there is something wrong with this snack. Where is the person who made the snack? Summon everyone who has touched this plate of snack. I want to question them one by one."

Mi'er and the others looked serious and went down to question them separately.

There are not enough people.

There are three young masters in the Taiji Palace. There are already many servants serving them. With Jiang Wanyue and Li Ce adding some more, there are at least forty or fifty palace servants in the Taiji Palace.

From the time the snacks were prepared, delivered, and placed on the table to the time Li Chengze ate them, too many people had entered the hall. In order to check, they had to be questioned one by one.

The prince had been standing aside without saying anything, but upon seeing this, he took the initiative to ask his two eunuchs to help.

He learned from his last lesson and this time, he took four people out.

And there were only two people left by Jiang Wanyue's side.

Soon, Qiongzhi came back and replied.

The several palace servants she was responsible for questioning all had no problems.

After Qiongzhi finished her report, she changed the subject: "Your Majesty, it's almost noon, and the sun is strong outside. You and His Royal Highness should go inside first!"

Jiang Wanyue pursed her lips and walked towards the side hall where Li Chengze lived.

As soon as she reached the door, the eunuch ran out.

"Your Highness, we have just given you medicine to induce vomiting. The room is stinking and I am afraid that it will stain your clothes. You should go to the main hall to rest!"

Jiang Wanyue glanced around and said in a deep voice.

"His Majesty the Third Prince is in this state. How can I feel at ease if I don't take a look at him?"

Without saying anything, she stepped over the threshold and walked quickly into the inner room.

There was indeed a bad smell in the house.

However, there is also a faint sweet fragrance.

Jiang Wanyue turned her head and saw the incense on the table. It was obvious that the palace servants lit the incense to drive away the smell.

She looked at the fragrance steadily, then retracted her gaze, walked to the bed, and reached out to touch Li Chengze's wrist.

His pulse was stable and his complexion was normal, and it didn't look like he had fallen ill suddenly.

Jiang Wanyue began to feel suspicious.

She did not doubt that Luo Yudian was using her son in order to plot against her, but allergies were a disease that could be fatal if not treated properly. No matter how cruel Luo Yudian was, she would not let her son fall into such a dangerous situation.

Could it be that this child was pretending?

Her eyes looked at Li Chengze inch by inch.

Li Chengze did not respond.

It's probably not pretending.

Suddenly, Jiang Wanyue suddenly remembered something and grabbed Li Chengze's hand.

The left hand and the right hand are both clean.

Not even a bit of soybean powder was contaminated.

He didn't eat the snack at all!

She sneered and turned to look at the two eunuchs in the room.

"Come here, drag these two away and give them forty lashes!"
